Are These Toys Trouble?

Two toys that are all the rage with school-age kids could pose safety risks for younger siblings.

Mighty Beanz are hot collectibles, but these inch-long plastic capsules present a potential choking hazard for kids under three.

As for Yo Yo Waterballs, squishy balls attached to stretch cords, the risk isn't potential -- it's proven. The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission has logged 186 reported incidents of cords wrapping around kids' necks and sometimes causing broken blood vessels on the neck, face or around the eyes. Our tests confirmed the toy is a choking danger and revealed it is flammable, too. Canada and France have banned the toy, but the CPSC has opted not to; instead, it has issued a statement telling parents to "exercise caution."
